Tuition Background
Part-Time
Tuition/Teaching Experience
I have taken a few tutees during my university days, ranging from primary school to lower secondary. It has been my passion to teach and my joy to see them achieve their goals and grades after many struggles and much hard work. It was through word of mouth that i begin to take up the next few assignments after my first tutee. One of the positive feedback I received was that I worked closely with each of them, knowing their strengths and weaknesses and alter my teaching methods to suit them. Why can I become a great tutor? I love children, I love teaching and most importantly I have to patience and methods to see them succeed.

Commitment / Other Details
I will be available anytime from now. Currently looking to commit to tutoring for the next 1-2 years.
Tuition classes preferably in the North-East and central areas, open to different times-lots.
Rapport Building
Having talks with their parents and understand the children's areas of weaknesses and their concerns. Come up with a timeline and set realistic goals. Talk to students about the problems and difficulties they face. Let them understand that it takes two hands to clap and they can improve only if they help themselves. Alter teaching methods to suit each student, work and follow closely with each of them. I will build trust and confidence with my students (this happens over time).
Keeping Up with Curriculum
Other than reading and practicing the curriculum to update my knowledge, I consistently search for new and innovative ways to teach my students. One of such examples would be getting involved in social media, following industry blogs and participate in online forums/ discussion platforms. It is relatively easier to obtain knowledge than to and devise and improvise strategies for teaching.
As a Good Tutor
I feel that a good tutor needs to understand her students, be compassionate and willing to go the extra mile to help when her students are in need. At the same time, she has to be strict and focus on achieving goals and results.
